Andrea’s Story

Andrea was in a hurry to join us.  She arrived 5 days before her due date and then appeared suddenly before her doctor arrived at the delivery room.  All was good as she opened her big eyes to look at the world. She seemed to be saying, “Wow, who turned on that bright light?” She spread her own light as she grew into adulthood, singing in school plays, participating in Show Choir, River City Round Up and Hastings Choir were among the many singing commitments she made.  She was often asked to sing at weddings, eventually she stopped the wedding gigs because she said she did not want to become known as the “Wedding Singer.” We all miss her beautiful, and sometimes playful, singing voice. It is so quiet now.

Andrea’s older sisters, Christine and Deborah loved playing with her and were excellent babysitters-she loved the attention they gave their little sister.  With 13 years between her sisters and her, Andrea said she often felt like an only child. Perhaps that drove her to excel in school; she was creative and committed to doing her best on the job.

After graduating high school at Ralston Andrea attended Hastings College on a music scholarship and graduated with a degree in Marketing from UNO. Her employment with nonprofit organizations such as NORS and Madonna Mobi Alliance focused on promotion of the service and on fundraising. She always encouraged family and friends to support these services.

Andrea met the love of her life, Isaac at a work volleyball event in spring of 2019. They became fast friends and after a year and a half began dating. Then after another year and a half they couldn’t wait to get married which they did on July 15th, 2022.

They went on many adventures together, supported each other in every way and their love never diminished even one bit.

Andrea had an affinity for special needs kids.   She was able to develop excellent relationships with them which blossomed and brought joy to them individually and to her, too. In that way she also served as an excellent role model for others.

She Lived and Laughed and Loved

and Left

She lives in our hearts and memories even if we cannot feel her there.
